Official Harry Potter Figure Discussion Thread

[MaxGoof]

Will probably be the last figure they do just to keep everyone interested in the line lol

I agree. I can't imagine Star Ace will do DH Harry until the very end of the line. Otherwise all the other Harrys' sales will suffer.

Who says the line has to end?

I dunno about 'near the end'. Down the track, probably yes.

Fantastic Beasts was great. Now would be the time to show some figures. Loved the four new leads.

I'd buy a Newt in a heartbeat! Pack him in with his coat, scarf, case, Niffler and Pickett and you're all set!

Well, these licenses always have close dates and the cost of the licenses themselves are based in a very direct way on how long a company has them open. Based on the rate at which SA is releasing these figures by movie installment, I'd say they likely have a waze to go (or are expecting to be able to renew at the end of each term)

Oo yes! That would be an instant buy for me!

A wand too!

Has Draco in his school robes been released yet?
I saw on Instagram some one filming an unboxing video.
Just wondering if anyone else has gotten him.

 

[cmiller99]

Do you have a link to the video?

Star Ace need to make more noise when they release a figure. I don't know why companies don't try to follow the Hot Toys model. Blitzway got mass Durden cancellations when they didn't give them to bloggers to take nice pics first, Star Ace collectors need to stumble across videos on other websites to find out a figure's just been released... surely that can't be all that helpful for business.

A wand? Well, you want Ollivanders. There ain't no place better.

Two things about that clip:

1. They stole music without permission, so it can't be a pro reviewer, surely? They'd know better than that.

2. Draco's hair looks flesh toned, rather than blonde (his face is a washed out flesh tone too). Then it circles back to the box art and the real Draco to just emphasize the fact it's not a good paint. The light in the video seems neutral, so no excuses there.

 

[cmiller99]

It does look that way...

The hair does seem a bit light, but the light also looks very bright to me. It appears to be washing out the blacks as well.

Does Instagram have rules about music in their videos like YouTube?
You can only record a few seconds that's about it.

It's copyright law, plain and simple. Even Youtube discourage it and you'll see that disclaimers are a myth.

Not true. "Fair use" is a slippery, dangerous and grossly misunderstood thing. You can have a short amount - let's say ten seconds - to use as to critique the music itself etc, but you may not use it for any other purpose - say an intro. Simple rule - you need permission. That's it. "Fair use" is no argument in a case like that video.

Yeah, I was really hoping to hear something about Fantastic Beasts figures by now. Do they for sure have the license?

There is a post saying it's taking a while for them to get the likeness rights or something :'( I really want a Newt and a Graves

 

[Captain-Miles-Dallas]

I'd like to see Star Ace make 1/6 figures from Deathly Hallows parts 1 & 2.

I hope so! I've yet to go and see the film, but I'd definitely be interested in a 1/6 Newt Scamander figure.

Me too!
